Each day until World Down Syndrome Day on March 21, we are highlighting a wonderful member of our community (21 Days of Ability). Today we'd like you to meet Marlee!

"Marlee (18) would like people to know that she is just like every other teenager. She wants to spend time with her friends and her family. She enjoys trying new things and going to new places. She loves cooking, drawing, and swimming. She has swum on several teams in several states and even in Europe. She recently earned her super brown belt in Tae Kwon Do. She does TKD 4 times a week, including participating in their leadership program. Marlee wants to be a chef on TV when she grows up. Her favorite thing to say when trying new things is, “Never give up, keep trying.”
